FANCY A CHAT? | HELLO@AVASHAHRES.COM

Hi! My name is Ava Shahres.
I'm a graphic designer, illustrator, and recent graduate from Capilano University’s IDEA School of Design.

With an education in branding, I bring a versatile approach to every project, creating a range of assets, from social media posts to experiential applications.
Whether it's through humour, fashion, paint, or pixels, I'm committed to expressing ideas in creative, boundary-pushing ways. My goal is always to make things stand out and leave a lasting impression—on a screen, on a page, or in the real world.
